After a bizarre
accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and
younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society
events for the unfamiliar city of Paris.

In Paris there are no
grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house Ingrid’s
twin brother, Grayson, found for them isn’t a house at all. It’s an
abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost
be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.

And Grayson has gone missing.

No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.

Ingrid
is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she
knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate
the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery
of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once
they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.

“No. Sorry. You have spent months being the biggest jerk to me. You don't get to decide to like me one day and think I will forget that. I want someone to care for me like my dad cared for my mom. And you aren't him.”

2. Celaena Sardothien

“You’ll be sweating when I skin you alive and squish your eyeballs beneath my feet,” she muttered, picking up the rapier.“That’s the spirit.”She practically threw the rapier into place, and drew the hunting knives without hesitation.
My dear old friends.A wicked smile spread across her face.”

3. Alice Bell

"Sighing again, he rubbed at the tattoos on his wrist. 'Mackenzie was right. You aren't slayer material.'Before
he had time to register my intentions, I threw a punch. My sore,
swollen knuckles slammed into his cheekbone, thrusting his head to the
side. Pain shot up my arm, but I bit my tongue to stop a moan.'You were saying?"

4. Katniss Everdeen

“Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me. But a shift has occurred since I stepped up to take Prim's place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.”

5. Sophie Mercer

“It just seems like overkill when you already have a dagger and I have superpowerful magic at my disposal.”“‘Superpowerful?’”He stood up, a gold chain dangling from his fingers. “Let me remind you of two words, Mercer: Bad. Dog.”

6. Hermione Granger

"I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled."

7. Rose Hathaway

“Even I make mistakes." I put on my brash, overconfident face. "I know it's hard to believe—kind of surprises me myself—but I guess it has to happen. It's probably some kind of karmic way to balance out the universe. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to have one person so full of awesomeness.”

8. Ellie Linton

“My survival was up to me. I had nothing and I had no one. What I did have, I told myself, was my mind, my imagination, my memory, my feelings, my spirit. These were important and powerful things.”

9. Allison Sekemoto

"Rabids edged onto the pavement, filling the road, their hisses and snarls rising into the air. Their empty white eyes blazed with madness and Hunger, and they began to sprint forward . Reaching back, I drew my blade, feeling it rasp free, gleaming as it came into the light. Looking up at the approaching rabids, I smiled.”

10. Alexandria Andros

“I guess there were two types of people in the world, those who sat around a fire, staring into the flames, and those who started the fire.Seth and I started the fire, and then we danced around it.”

genius IQ and attend the best school in the country, but as she starts

yet—that when you go to a school for spies, nothing is ever as it
seems.

against an ancient terrorist organization dead set on kidnapping her. Now
the danger follows her everywhere, and even Cammie "The Chameleon"

a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work
of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a claim.

whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means
embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her
school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the
while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart
and mind.

Titel: I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill YouFörfattare: Ally CarterSerie: Gallagher Girls #1Sidor: 309Cammie Morgan is a
student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, a fairly
typical all-girls school-that is, if every school taught advanced
martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and
students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class.
The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses but it's
really a school for spies. Even though Cammie is fluent in fourteen
languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways, she has
no idea what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she's an
ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, or
track him through town with the skill of a real "pavement artist"-but
can she maneuver a relationship with someone who can never know the
truth about her?

Cammie Morgan may be an elite spy-in-training, but in her sophomore year, she's on her most dangerous mission-falling in love.

Liam MacGregor is

With
Anna, Liam finally finds the happiness he has always been denied; but,
the violent, mythical Otherworlders, who inhabit the island and the sea
around it, have other plans. They make a wager on the couple’s love,
testing its strength through a series of cruel obstacles. But the
tragedies draw Liam and Anna even closer. Frustrated, the creatures put
the couple through one last trial—and this time it’s not only their
love that’s in danger of being destroyed.

lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there’s something
suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it’s mutating, and all evidence

We
built the wall to keep them out, to keep us safe. But it also makes us
prisoners, trapped in what's left of our ravaged city, fearing
nightfall.

After the death of my parents, it's up to me--as the
newest delegate for humanity--to bargain with our vampire overlord. I
thought I was ready. I thought I knew everything there was to know about
the monsters. Then again, nothing could have prepared me for Lord
Valentine . . . or his son. Maybe not all vampires are killers. Maybe
it's safe to let one in.

Only one thing is certain: Even the wall is not enough. A war is coming and we cannot hide forever.

has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed
themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed...
and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...
